A little about myself. My name is Nichole and I have 2 amazing children ages 21 and 18. I am a photographer in my free time and love being out on a lake in the summer. I grew up in Maine and belief the outdoors is a place for learning and exploring. I currently live in Hampton, NH. I absolutely love working with children and finding out what their interests are and using their interests as a way to help the child grow and gain skills that are meaningful to them. I believe in patience and understanding as a child will enviably will push boundaries and need to be reminded and redirected back to healthy choices. I choose positive reinforcement as a posed to punishments. It's important that a child feels safe and I work hard at creating a safe space for them while also teaching them about life's boundaries. For example, if a child was running toward a road, I wouldn't scold them. I would use that moment to teach them about road safety and staying with their grownup.
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this in support of Nichole, who has been an exceptional in-home nanny for our family over the past 5 years. I have had the pleasure of knowing Nichole personally and professionally, and I can confidently say that she possesses the qualities and skills that make her an outstanding caregiver. This transition will be hard for our family, and our loss will be another's gain. From the moment Nichole joined our family, she demonstrated a natural affinity for working with children. Nichole’s ability to connect with our kids, C and A, was remarkable. Nichole engages them in fun and educational activities and fosters an environment of trust and security. Nichole approaches every situation with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for nurturing. Our son C was diagnosed with Autism in the first year of working with us. Nichole demonstrated a profound understanding of autism's unique challenges and needs associated with autism. She approached our son with patience and empathy, creating a supportive environment where he felt safe to express himself. Nichole took the time to learn about his specific needs, preferences, and triggers, allowing her to tailor her approach effectively. Nicole helped coordinate with his ABA providers, and she took an active role in supporting his therapy. Our son has made leaps and bounds of progress and went from being nonverbal at age 3 to speaking entire sentences by age 4. One of Nichole's standout qualities is her reliability. She has always been punctual and dependable, which has given us peace of mind knowing that our children are in safe hands. Nichole is also highly adaptable, skillfully managing the daily routines while accommodating unexpected changes or challenges. In addition to her childcare skills, Nichole possesses excellent communication abilities. She keeps us informed about our children's progress, activities, and concerns, ensuring we are always on the same page. This open line of communication has been invaluable in maintaining a strong partnership in our children's upbringing. This collaborative approach has strengthened our family’s ability to support C and reinforce the skills he learns. One of the most impressive qualities of Nichole is her ability to engage Camden in meaningful activities that promote both learning and fun. She has a remarkable talent for incorporating sensory play and communication techniques that resonate with our son, helping him develop essential skills while enjoying his time. Nichole is firmly committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle and encouraging our children to engage in outdoor activities and develop nutritious eating habits. Our son is a picky eater, but because of Nichole's efforts, he has been willing to try new foods and develop better eating habits. Her creativity shines through the various crafts, games, and educational projects she organizes, making learning enjoyable and interactive. I wholeheartedly recommend Nichole for any nanny position, especially caring for children with special needs. Her dedication, compassion, and professionalism make her an ideal candidate for any family seeking a nurturing and skilled caregiver.
